Notes: Abu Sergia (St. Sergius) (Special Rendezvous) The crypt of this church, hidden away amongst a winding maze of narrow streets is claimed to be the location of the refuge of Jesus, Mary and Joseph during their flight to Egypt. (Gabriel says "Yes it was" And let's face she is the most likely Archangel to know!) The tiny crypt which certainly pre-dates the Fourth Century, measures barely seven yards by five, being the actual spot where they lived for the month's sojourn. The church above, largely rebuilt in the 11th century has a number of interesting details which will be pointed out by one of the Guides.

Originally a low ranking Reliever in the service of Laurence, she enjoyed zipping around the Global Battlefield in the Great War. Occupying the Host bodies of Soldiers of the Gimel and aiding them with her Servitor Attunements in the fight against the enemy and The Enemy.

Suddenly everything changed, during the Six Day War a soldier fell with his Destiny unfulfilled. The young Mustafa had suffered a fatal head wound, after falling off a ladder and Roriel jumped at the chance of a promotion to full Angelic status. Naturally, with her experience, as a Kyriotate. So with additional Forces (and Roriel!) Mustafa made a 'miraculous' recovery.

Then it was realised that, in the rush to preserve a Soldier, a mistake had been made! The Bey family had an important Mundane Role. That of Host to the Kyriotate Caretaker to Abu Sergia (St. Sergius) a potential Tether that came under the Word of Zadkiel.

Roriel had a fellow Kyriotate for a Father in Law, as well as Wife, Children, and Family Pets!

Clearly the presence of two Angels could well destabilise the formation of this Tether and there was a heated discussion. (Somewhere along the line Gabriel had become involved!) It was all several light years above Roriel's head.

Eventually and despite everybody's best efforts the whole Gimel ended up in Dominic's court.

Roriel would become the new Caretaker under the direct direction of the old Caretaker who would be bumped upstairs with a suitable Word. Just as soon as one could be formulated.

Roriel was unhappy because she was now fixed in a non-combative Role and tied to a Sanctuary. The old Caretaker was most unhappy as no-one could think of a Word that had not yet been assigned and was currently Castilian i/c at the All Souls Soup Kitchen in the Bronx. Laurence was unhappy because he had gained a potential Tether that did not suit his Word and Zadkiel was unhappy because she had lost one. Gabriel was unhappy because... well these days she always seems to be unhappy. The only person that was happy was Dominic because the Judgement had been made and it was no longer anything to do with his department!

Since then things have settled down and Roriel has learnt that whilst keeping most of her Forces within the Mustafa's Host body she can use the family pets: two large dogs and a flock of white doves for the occasional Gimel into the City. Still a militant at heart she has to be firmly kept in check by the previous Caretaker. The two now timeshare various Hosts in the Bronx and the Coptic Quarter depending on need. The Elderly Caretaker is now the Wordbound Angel of "Refuges for Battered Husbands" which although it does not have the ring of "Seneschal of St. Sergius'" probably has good prospects as he seems to be kept pretty busy!

Meanwhile the Bey family, especially his wife, are aware that their husband has been 'blessed' by God and apart from occasional relapses (when Roriel departs with most of her Forces) is the loving father of a large family! Naturally Laurence did not approve of this wanton reproduction even if her offspring are, by definition, normal Corporeal children (p86 Angelic Players Guide). Roriel has subsequently transferred to the Service of Zadkiel and is happier conjoined with her Malakite resonance. Naturally Zadkiel is happy at getting her (potential) Tether back. She has awarded Roriel more Forces and Attunements to aid her in providing Protection to the beleaguered Forces of Heaven deep within Enemy held territory. Even Laurence is happy and has let her keep his Attunements on the understanding that they are to be USED in the Service of the Sword and the War.

Roriel is quite capable of using these whilst in Gimel mode and, over the last two decades, a number of Soldiers and Angels finding themselves in Cairo have been aided, apparently by a multiple manifestation of the Holy spirit!
